    I had the Goodyears (215/50.R17) on my 2017 Focus Tdci for 4 years and 85.000km without rotating them and they are still going strong. Can't rotate them because one of the rears had a puncture.
    The originals Michelin Primacy HP had to go after 80K and I had to rotate them at about 60.000km and they were BAD when they had about 40.000km. Rear grip non existent and on wet they were very tail happy.
    P.S. I live in SE of Spain were is HOT in the summer(40+ C), we get more than 300 days of sun, mild winters and it rains....almost never.

    Clearly the winner is Vredestein Ultrac..
    I hate those manipulations in score.

      let down apparently by wear...

        The new Ultrac + is here. No reviews for it but it appears to have up to 30% better wear and abrasion resistance plus a new build. I think I'm going to be one of the first buying this in the UK.

      Excellent tire for a wet climate.

      The Vredestein Longevity is abismal sadly.

      Using my own scoring 1/2 wet, 1/3 dry, 1/6 value. And with custom subvalues I had :

      1- P4+ & EGP2
      3- PC7
      4- Fulda EC2 (surprising but looks like he deserve it !)
      5- Turanza 6

      Then it's a mix of second tier tires, including Hankook who is still behind in longevity. The P7 C2 is among them, bad longevity, hope that the C3 is much better.
